Crossing Paths (541)

Farewell, Dustox!

As they travel towards the next town, Jessie's Dustox becomes infatuated with a Shiny Dustox. It seems that it is now mating season for Dustox and as Dustox begins to find happiness, Jessie becomes conflicted on whether to keep Dustox, preventing it from being happy, or letting her old friend go...

Hi Serebii,
Anyway, does this remind anyone else of the episode ''Bye bye Butterfree''? when Ash's Butterfree found a shiny pink Butterfree and left Ash?
I wonder what other Pokemon Jessie will get???

That was obvious!

It would make sense if they did that. Some of the younger viewers won't know what we're talking about because it aired before they were born!

LOL! I wish!

Well i am sorry that i couldn't post this pics before because the forum was not loading up properly for me. So here are some pics from the episode,

Also it seems that Jessie released Dustox by breaking its pokeball into bits (thats a new thing).

Well though this episode was similar to "ByeBye Butterfree" from the first season, i felt upon seeing the pics that it is still a bit different. In "ByeBye Butterfree" the episode was about Butterfree trying to impress the Shiny Butterfree, but in this episode it feels like it is about Jessie's past.
Please tell me really what happened & is the girl really Jessie.

And Jessie crushed Dustox's ball, because it really didn't want to leave her, but I guess Jessie knew what was best. We got a nice flashback to when Dustox was a Wurmple, then Cascoon, then it winning Jessie a ribbon. Really sad stuff.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?, -Dr. Seuss

So, after all, the girl from the flashback WAS Jessie after all. The green-haired girl reminded me of her rival from the TR office, but...well,...this is pokemon character design after all.

I really liked this episode, even with terrible animation and art style it was very emotional too me.

Funny when Manene mimiced Mimirol´s jumping or all of TR pokemon helped building the damn.
Funny as well when Joi explained everything while our favourite breeder was knocked out in the background for the second time without anyone noticing.

The flashback felt very anime-ish too me. Might have been the clothing, the setting and all, but it didn´t felt very pokémon like to me. Which is, sometimes a good thing. ^^

Damn, Kaze To Isshoni really was a nice addition as well. I felt really bad for Dustox...it never had this much text like in this episode but I really liked its screechy voice at the end when it didn´t want to leave Jessie.

I can't believe they gave Jessie such a great episode! This is probably the first time I ever felt anything other than apathy towards her, and I really liked her as a human being (in an anime mind you).

THANK YOU! yes, that's EXACTLY what i was saying when i watched this. It was SO AMZING!! It's one of those episodes that just makes you cry, ya know? I loved seeing Jessie show so much emotion, and TR was helping the situation for once.

What I also thought was cool and really creative was when Jessie and the boy's Dustox managed to move the water back into the lake. I thought that was an amzing way to work together and really show off their talents. When I saw it, i thought to myself, "wow, that would make an amazing combination for a contest."

Im gonna kind of miss Dustox. He was kind of cute. and OMG!!! I actually have a shiny Dustox! When I saw it, I was like, "THAT'S MINE!!!' lol....

I only use all-out offensive moves in battle. If you're one of the people who doesn't waste time with stat moves, then copy and paste this into your signature.

Well, another episode goes by and this one was actually pretty decent, better than that other "filler" episode we had last week (and usually, I'd post about in the threads, but it really didn't appeal to me... though it didn't help that my interest wasn't there. Not a good move).

Anyways, this one wasn't really a typical "filler", despite it "filling" in between the gyms. It actually felt your run of the mill "episode". I was initially going to just do bullet form of what I liked/disliked/odded me out, I figured I'd just respond to any posts that have something similar to what I was going to say.

That was probably the funniest thing Croagunk has ever done yet. I mean, he jabs him, then Brock is just standing there the next moment looking all "cool" ans such, then collapses. Either Brock is developing the ability immunity, or Croagunk's Poison Jab isn't quite as effective at knocking down Brock for extended periods of time. But then, that just means he gets to get one more in! hehehe.

It amazed me a little to see that Confusion can be used to move something as big as a small lake. I do find Jessie to be a little annoying, but I did feel bad that she had to release Dustox.[/QUOTE]

Not to mention that the whole event in question is called "Dustox Crossing'. But yeah, it works I guess. I found Michelle Knotz did a good job in this episode, if you actually decide to consider it.

I honestly was waiting for that blue light that signifies "released" as in what Paul does. Granted, this isn't Paul by any means... so that could be ignored.

Alright, I'll give it that much.

Yes, that was perhaps one of the funniest moments in this episode, besides the 2nd consecutive Poison Jab. She just chucks it and pretty much finishes the wall.

I would have, but I was too busy "watching" the show. Sorry about that.

[QUOTE=pearlrocket86;8566170]I really liked this episode because it's nice to see Jessie getting some character background episodes.[/b]
No kidding. We got one back in Kanto... one in Johto (about a good 200 episode gap) and now one in Sinnoh (add another 300+ episodes). There's such a huge gap in between that it's amazing that it took so long to know her past. Eh, for a 10 year old show that's still running, I suppose it's okay.

One of the few things that I was waiting for to happen, but actually glad it didn't happen was when Ash and co. went to see what was causing the lake to drain. I was half expecting Ash to accuse Team Rocket of causing it.

I was amazed at how quickly Jessie insisted that Dustox should leave and follow it's heart. I got the impression that Jessie would have had a much harder time letting go, but it seemed that she was somewhat easy going with it (lets not go too deep here...).

Now the one thing that bugged me was that guy. I'm certain that that guy just looked liked Jessie's childhood friend and that in no way was him. But, if someone thinks otherwise, well let me know.

I was rather shocked when Jessie decided to "smash" Dustox's pokeball. But, it's not like this hasn't been done before (the pokeball smashing, not the episode).

"I'm not really here that much, if at all. I've moved on, to a different site."

"But, it's been fun. I'll come back every so often, but for the most part, I won't post much."

I would have, but I was too busy "watching" the show. Sorry about that.

Well, normally I really do not take much notice to the background music. However, this episode and the last gym episode, the music really caught my ear. Perhaps it was because they both had movie pieces that I could immediately recognize.
